Good inflow for dams
The bad weather has had the beneficial side effect of boosting the amount of water in the dams.

The Director of the Water Development Department Sophocles Aletrari, told CtyBC that the greatest inflow was into the Lefkara, Kalavasos and Dipotamos dams.

Lefkara collected 100,000 cubic meters of water and 50,000 to 60,000 poured into the Kalavasos and Dipotamos dams

These are the largest amounts to have been collected in the dams during this period for 20 years.
